Family interactions & Neurodevelopmental disabilities

The research in our lab acknowledges the importance of family and social support in promoting health and well-being in vulnerable children and young people. ​The goal of the FIND Lab is to promote healthy psychological development for vulnerable children and to help parents (and carers) to support their children by reducing stress and improving wellbeing.

Our research examines multiple aspects of psychological health, including developmental milestones and cognitive functioning. We use a number of methods including large-scale surveys, laboratory-based experimental studies, and cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. We adopt a multifaceted approach to measurement that includes well best practice child assessment techniques including direct observation as well as parent and self-reports. We use established norm-referenced standardised tools of behaviour, alongside newer, innovative technologies – which are also evidence based - including eye-tracking.
